Lyrics and translation Kemal Monteno - Stari

Stari

Davno sam ti rodjen brate,
Iz ovog grada nisam mak'o,
Al' vidio sam svijeta puno,
Dos'o mi je,
Ne bi li me tak'o

Prva noga na me kroci,
Cijeli grad mi nazdravio
Prva liska s mene skoci,
Umrije onaj sto me napravio

Ispod hladna štipa rijeka,
A moj kamen
Ko da ce da plane
U njoj svako jedva ceka,
Da na mene negdje stane

Ja pogodjen nisam, ni umro ni pao,
Samo sam morao skociti dole
Nastavicu tacno tamo gdje sam stao,
Izronice stari za one sto ga vole

Ja pogodjen nisam, ni umro ni pao,
Samo sam morao skociti dole
Nastavicu tacno tamo gdje sam stao,
Izronice stari za one sto ga vole

Davno sam ti rodjen brate,
Iz ovog grada nisam mak'o,
Al' vidio sam svijeta puno,
Dos'o mi je,
Ne bi li me tak'o

Prva noga na me kroci,
Cijeli grad mi nazdravio
Prva liska s mene skoci,
Umrije onaj sto me napravio

Ja pogodjen nisam, ni umro ni pao,
Samo sam morao skociti dole
Nastavicu tacno tamo gdje sam stao,
Izronice stari za one sto ga vole

Ja pogodjen nisam, ni umro ni pao,
Samo sam morao skociti dole
Nastavicu tacno tamo gdje sam stao,
Izronice stari za one sto ga vole

Ja pogodjen nisam, ni umro ni pao,
Samo sam morao skociti dole
Nastavicu tacno tamo gdje sam stao,
Izronice stari za one sto ga vole

The Old One

My brother, I was born to you long ago,
I'm not a child of this city,
But I've seen a lot of the world,
It came to me,
So it wouldn't happen to me

The first foot steps on me,
The whole city toasted me
The first leaf falls from me,
The one who made me died

Beneath the cold rock river,
But my stone
As if it would catch fire
Everyone in it can barely wait,
To stand on me somewhere

I was not hit, I did not die or fall,
I just had to jump down
I'll pick up right where I left off,
An old man emerging for those who love him

I was not hit, I did not die or fall,
I just had to jump down
I'll pick up right where I left off,
An old man emerging for those who love him

My brother, I was born to you long ago,
I'm not a child of this city,
But I've seen a lot of the world,
It came to me,
So it wouldn't happen to me

The first foot steps on me,
The whole city toasted me
The first leaf falls from me,
The one who made me died

I was not hit, I did not die or fall,
I just had to jump down
I'll pick up right where I left off,
An old man emerging for those who love him

I was not hit, I did not die or fall,
I just had to jump down
I'll pick up right where I left off,
An old man emerging for those who love him

I was not hit, I did not die or fall,
I just had to jump down
I'll pick up right where I left off,
An old man emerging for those who love him
